Title: Adenine nucleotide binding sites on beef heart F/sub 1/ ATPase: photoaffinity labeling of. beta. -subunit Tyr-368 at a noncatalytic site and. beta. Tyr-345 at a catalytic site

Journal Article · · Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.; (United States)

2-Azidoadenine (/sup 32/P)nucleotide was bound specifically at catalytic or noncatalytic nucleotide binding sites on beef heart mitochondrial F/sub 1/ ATPase. In both cases, photolysis resulted in nearly exclusive labeling of the ..beta.. subunit. The modified enzyme was digested with trypsin, and labeled peptides were purified by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Amino acid sequence analysis of the major /sup 32/P-labeled tryptic fragments showed ..beta..-subunit Tyr-368 to be present at noncatalytic sites and ..beta.. Tyr-345 to be present at catalytic sites. From the relationship between the degree of inhibition and extent of modification, it is estimated that one-third of the catalytic sites or two-thirds of the noncatalytic sites must be modified to give near-complete inhibition of catalytic activity.
